Description Alejandro Nova 2011-11-30 15:26:09 UTC

Version:           Git (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Self explanatory. Either we restrict KDE Look users to tar.gz, or implement a logic applying the right command (tar xvfJ instead of tar xvfz) to those files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Get New Hot Stuff to install the Xenon or Helium Plasma themes. They come in handy tar.xz files.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Xenon or Helium Plasma themes are installed.

This is a matter of implementing a simple extension detection logic (tar.xz or txz) and associate a command to it (tar xvfJ).

I agree this would be very useful.  A quick test shows we are using plasmapackage for installation of plasma themes.  I'll see what it will take to add xz support to that, shouldn't be much.
